SP - Don't worry about your lack of O or AF. Remember your body and soul just went through a major upheaval. The waiting is so very hard (I know!!!!). Be kind to yourself...hugs.
SP
I have a long cycle too (31-33 days) and O late and I have managed to get two babies to this earth so far so I don't this is a sign that you will always have problems.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, they really help. I did go in to have the blood test this morning (almost another hour waiting!!) and have only just got the message back that the pregnancy is confirmed. However, they weren't able to give me the hcg level and the centre secretary said I would need to come back in for more tests to be run. I did another hpt when I got home and unfortunately, it's not coming back any darker and it should be as dark as the control line by now. So...
Nevertheless, I will TRY to be positive and talk my emby into staying. I think I will need a mammoth amount of sticky vibes.
Good luck everyone waiting for O, in the TWW and waiting for AF! Sorry for being so self centred with my posts.
Hi everyone, only joined recently but been reading alot of threads and working out where to join in.
DH and I have been TTC for 2 years.
After 20 months of trying I finally got pregnant but lost at 4 weeks in November 06.
Like giving a kid candy and taking it back.....
I guess the good news was that I fell, even though it took 20 months.
I found out last week that my SIL is 7 weeks, and like to one before she fell very quickly.
We have a really great friendship, but it hurts too much to be around her at the moment.
Not too sure where to go from here, but am seeing my gyno next month and find out what the next step will be.
Thanks everyone for their posts, it is a real comfort not feeling like your the only one who feels this way.
Welcome Nicole - so sorry to hear about your loss. It must be so devastating to have your angel taken away from you after waiting so long. I hope that we can be of some support to you. Hopefully your GYN will have a plan for you. I can totally understand on the SIL part - mine had their first bub and the first grandchild 6 wks after my first m/c, and I am finding it very hard being around her and the family, it just brings it all back home, even though I get along really well with her. It is perfectly normal and ok to find it hard.
Kerry - congrats on getting your pg confirmed and try not to stress! (although I do understand how hard this is). Just remember, an HPT only reacts to the presence of HCG, not the amount, so the darkness of the line is totally irrelevant, as there are so many factors to take into account, such as the time of day, how much you have had to drink, etc.
Sharon - hope AF comes soon!
Bek - so glad your results came back clear. I would also find it hard taking your dr's advice and taking things easy - it sounds good in theory, but in practice when you want a child, not so easy.
SP - I also worry about late O and long cycles being a factor in m/c. I really really hope that AF finally comes along soon for you. Thanks Tonners for your encouragement, it's good to hear that long cycles and late O don't necessarily mean m/c!!
Some doctors need to learn somethng about emotions.
Kbowman- Dont let that doctor get you down....
When I was pg, the first doc we went to was one i went to as a child. He didnt say anything encouraging at all. His first question was: Do you have private health insurance? I didnt. he then said well where do you want to have the baby. That was it. Oh and he asked if the pg was planned or not. It wasnt but it wasnt a bad thing. As we were going to be first time parents, we left there feeling more confused and as scared as ever.
So then I went to another doc and she was the complete turnaround. She gave advice as to the things to avoid and so forth.
The nurses at the hospital after the m/c were so so, like they had been through it many times.
My advice is to stay positive and bugger the negatitivity.
